Many crafts, such as woodcarving, mother-of-pearl inlay, ceramics, and lacquer ware, have their origins as decorative forms in temple architecture. Some crafts have inevitably declined with the modernization of Thailand and the loss of skilled craftsmen, but others have thrived because of the increase in foreign tourism and the demand for high-quality souvenirs. Woodcarving and silverwork have maintained high standards, while woven silk manufactured in Northeast Thailand has become a major export item. Ceramics, such as celadon stoneware and finely wrought nielloware bowls, can sometimes be of exceptional quality.

Check out the top handicrafts that you will find at Damnoen Saduak Floating Market.

Ceramics Thailand produces a number of different types of ceramics, including lustrous green glazed celadon pottery. The most celebrated ceramic is the delicate and highly decorated Benjarong, the manufacture of which dates back to China’s Ming dynasty (1369-1644). Benjarong follows traditional patterns of intricately woven floral designs with the use of five colors –red, green, yellow, blue, and white. Benjarong items range from pots and vases to entire dinner services.

Mother-of pearl inlay. Mother-of pearl inlays are used in presentation trays and in various containers, as well as on plaques bearing classical scenes. The style of decoration dates back to the Dvaravati period. Little else is known of its evolution between then and the late Ayutthaya and early Bangkok periods, when it was used extensively to decorate doors and windows in temples, as well as furniture and drinking vessels.

Woodcarving. Thailand’s one extensive forests of teak and other hardwoods were a ready source of material for woodcarvers, whose skillful handiwork can be seen in the elaborately decorative gables, doors, and roof supports that grace almost every temple in Thailand. A ban on logging was implemented in 1989 but wood carving is still one of the most prominent Thai crafts. The timber used these days is mainly imported from Myanmar (Burma) or taken from existing supplies that have been confiscated from illegal loggers or salvaged form dilapidated buildings. Illegal logging is still rife in Thailand, so there is little doubt that some of the products you see for sale in markets have come from this source. Craftsmen turn out an amazing range of woodcarvings, from intricately carved screens, bedsteads, furniture, and 6-foot-high (2m) elephants to delicate figurines, elegant salad bowls, and novelties and games. Even moderately priced woodcarvings sometimes display impressive craftsmanship.
